3 Days in Kyoto 🇯🇵 | Food, Temples & Hidden Gems
This is how we spent 3 days in Kyoto 🇯🇵 In this vlog, we’re sharing where we stayed, what we ate, and the temples and neighborhoods that made this trip feel calm, cozy, and unforgettable ✨
We explored iconic spots like Kiyomizu-dera and Fushimi Inari, wandered through the historic streets of Higashiyama, rode a rickshaw in the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, and took a day trip to Uji for some of the best matcha in Japan.
Of course, we also ate our way through Kyoto – from Nishiki Market street food to cozy cafés, wagyu beef, and a Michelin-star kaiseki dinner 🤍
If you’re visiting Kyoto in winter (or anytime really), this video covers what’s truly worth your time, where to eat, and how to experience the city at a slower, more relaxed pace.
